Longevity: Liver Experience from the Hunter Ship

Chapter 164 The Mysterious Case of Missing

Winter is approaching.

The autumn wind is bleak and the temperature plummets.

Crystal white snowflakes fell, and a light layer of snow accumulated on the eaves.

"What... closed the case?!" Bai Xiuying said in amazement.

"However, the real culprit of the murder in the outer city is still at large. We only caught a dozen demon cultivators..."

"In this case, why should we close the case?!"

Bai Xiuying raised her eyebrows and clenched her fists tightly.

Sikong Xin stood by the glazed window, wearing a gray and white Taoist robe, looking casual and elegant.

He looked at the falling snow outside the window, holding a cup of steaming spirit tea.

Hearing this, Sikong Xin turned around and said with a sigh.

"Junior sister Bai, you also know..."

"There are hundreds of murders without clues, and even the Jiuyi test spirit talisman has found nothing..."

"The murderer who committed the crime... his strength is probably at the crystallized level!"

"Most of them are like 'Master Jiuyuan', an evil master from the outer sea..."

Sikong Xin shook his head, fear appeared in his eyes.

"The current situation in the sea area... these evil spirits should try their best to be tolerant, and it is better not to conflict..."

Mentioning the situation in the sea, Bai Xiuying's eyes darkened slightly and her expression was gloomy.

Today's Weiyuan Immortal City seems to be full of majesty, but there is a tendency to fight against Qingxuanzong in a vague way.

However, there are hardships in the fairy city.

After all, Qingxuanzong has ruled the sea area for hundreds of years, how profound is his influence? !
especially.

After the fall of Master Zhaoxia, Qingxuanzong felt the pain deeply, and the internal conflicts eased a bit.

As a result, he was able to free up his hands and use many means to suppress Weiyuan Immortal City!
During these seemingly peaceful and calm years, undercurrents surged, and the side of the fairy city suffered several dull losses!
Even the 'Big Auction' held once every ten years had to be postponed until now...

And then, Sikong Xin said again.

"Besides, this murderous man also knows how to measure."

"During this period of time, there have been no more murders in the outer city..."

"Most likely this person has already left Weiyuan Immortal City... In such a situation, it is meaningless to investigate further."

"The more than ten demon cultivators captured, choose a lucky day, show their heads to the public... and give an explanation to the loose cultivators in the outer city."

"Let's close this matter like this." Sikong Xin said calmly.

"Well……"

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Xiuying chose to obey the instructions.

"Yes..." She nodded.

Sikong Xin smiled with satisfaction and continued.

"Next, our focus is still on the big auction..."

Speaking of the big auction, Sikong Xin's expression became much more solemn.

As a trading center, it is a big auction gathering rare treasures from the sea.

It has always been an effective means for Weiyuan Immortal City to increase its influence.

And this big auction, as the first big auction held after the quarrel with Qingxuanzong, is even more important!
"This time, we plan to sell a crystallized spirit item in the big auction..."

"In this way, to enhance the influence, and win over the Foundation Establishment family who are dissatisfied with Qingxuanzong in the sea area... to win allies for Xiancheng..."

Sikong Xin explained the matter, and Bai Xiuying listened carefully.

After a while, Bai Xiuying bowed and left.

She walked in the corridor, staring at the falling snow outside the window, her crystal eyes twinkling.

Looking at the snowy scene outside the window, she felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart.

"It's this feeling again...uneasy..."

Bai Xiuying frowned and covered her chest.

She seemed to be able to feel that her heart was beating faster.

For some reason, she thought of the victims of the murder in the outer city.

"The murderer...does he really have to leave Immortal City?"

Bai Xiuying frowned and couldn't help asking herself.

"What Brother Sikong said should be true..."

"And it is true that there have been no more murders..."

"That's all... let's go back to practice. During this period, I feel that practice has become much easier. The bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building has also been somewhat loosened..."

Bai Xiuying thought and murmured to herself.

And right now.

The corners of her eyes moved suddenly.

Bai Xiuying caught a glimpse of a pale figure standing on the eaves not far away!

And when she turned her eyes to look there, there was no trace.

"Ok?"

Surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

……

No more homicides.

In recent days, the panic among people in the outer city has eased slightly.

The upcoming big auction has attracted many casual cultivators and family cultivators to Weiyuan Immortal City.

In this winter snow, it has once again added excitement to the prosperity of the city.

however……

Only a few people noticed.

Even though homicides no longer happen, there are more and more "disappearances" in the outer city!

It seems that it is increasing rapidly at an abnormal speed?

However, this caused little panic.

After all, with the style of a monk, it is normal to come to Weiyuan Immortal City and use a false identity.

Those blood-stained veteran robbers who came to Xiancheng to sell their stolen goods.

They are all cautious and experienced!
Which one didn't change four or five faces, seven or eight identities, and run a dozen shops?
Proper old fritters!
Even if you are a casual cultivator, you can sell resources and buy spiritual items normally.

In order to avoid being targeted by the robbery cultivator, it is normal to change several identities to cover up.

This time and again.

Often one monk can create several missing persons...

Not to mention, the fighting, robbery and murder among the monks, the unsuspecting case created...

It is precisely because I understand the 'customs and habits' among monks very well.

In Weiyuan Immortal City, the importance attached to the disappearance case is very low.

What's more, the big auction is approaching.

Under such circumstances, a large number of monks poured into Weiyuan Immortal City, and many false identities disappeared and emerged.

The increase in missing cases did not cause any waves.

……

a few days later.

Bai Xiuying sat cross-legged in the cave, opened her eyes, her face darkened slightly.

She always felt as if something was hiding in the dark, staring at herself with cold and vicious eyes!

This feeling of being watched made her quite unhappy.

"call……"

She stood up, controlled the escape light, flew out of the cave, and flew aimlessly within the Weiyuan Immortal City.

And when she came back to her senses, she saw a mansion with high gates and stone carvings below.

Bai Xiuying's consciousness swept away.

The word 'Zhongfu' came to mind.

"The Bell House..."

Her heart moved slightly, and she lowered the escape light.

……

Nourishing.

A black boot with gold thread stepped on the snow.

"This...is the Zhong Mansion?"

The handsome young man in black robe raised his head and glanced at the old plaque.

"Yes, Senior Su, it's here..."

Zhou Liangcai shrank his neck and nodded half a step behind Su Ye.

He was about to go forward and knock on the door for Su Ye, but was stopped by the latter.

Su Ye's hand moved slightly, and mana emerged.

crunch.

The door, which had been covered in dust for a long time, slowly opened.

A cold breath emerged from the house and hit his face.

Su Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, called out the Frost Spike, and stepped in.
